Walk into the shadow of the Duomo and you’ll find us: Enoteca al Duomo, a small wine shop and osteria looking straight across at the cathedral.
It’s run by Emiliano and Ilaria, a husband-and-wife team who do what they love and love what they do. Over the counter and at the tables outside, they pour the wines of Umbria and serve the food of the region — truffle, local cheeses and cured meats, pasta rolled by hand. Come for an aperitivo, a long lunch or an evening glass.
Umbria first, then the rest of Italy. Ask at the counter what’s open today — Emiliano and Ilaria will find you something worth the walk up the hill.
Urbs Vetus is Emiliano and Ilaria’s own label — the wine they’re proudest to put in your hands, named with the old name of the city they call home.
A single hillside at Bardano. A cellar cut into volcanic rock. Two wines, grown and made by the same hands, and poured on the cathedral square.
Emiliano tends a parcel of vines at Bardano and vinifies in the cellars of Cantine Neri, then pours the wine with Ilaria at their enoteca facing the Duomo.
The Rosso is made in collaboration with Enrico Neri — the same volcanic hills, four hands.
